But Can We Talk About All the Wigs In Lil Nas X's "Call Me By Your Name" Music Video?

26/03/2021 - 04:35 PM

The internet is currently buzzing about Lil Nas X [1]'s provocative new visual for his song, "Montero (Call Me By Your Name)." The video — which he officially released at midnight on 26 March along with a sweet letter to his 14-year-old self — has already racked up nearly two million views on YouTube thanks to its stunning imagery and one scene in particular where the rapper is seen giving a lap dance to a satanic figure (that's a 2021 mad lib for you). Of course, you can't make a campy music video without some outrageous beauty looks to match, and for this visual, Lil Nas X more than delivered.

The rapper cycled through four different hairstyles in the video: a faux loc wig with a fringe bang that he wore with a crystal-studded manicure; a baby pink, pin curled wig styled in a pixie cut; an electric blue beehive that matched his dreamy eyeshadow and blue jean manicure; and a bright red cornrow wig with curled baby hairs. According to an Instagram post [2] shared by the director, Tanu Muino [3], the hair was styled by Evanie Frausto [4] and Samantha Lepre [5], while the makeup was the work of Anthony Nguyen [6], who previously worked with the rapper for his Paper Magazine cover shoot in December.

Feast your eyes on some of the stunning beauty moments from the video ahead.
